Vegan Bean Chili & Mexican Cornbread

I know it’s technically Spring now, but most of the United States is still experiencing cold weather and it’s actually raining here in Texas. So it seemed appropriate to share a warming recipe, this is pure comfort food in my book.

I had this recipe posted back in December, it was one of a few that magically deleted itself – so I’m reposting it again today. I originally had these recipes split up, but I think it makes more sense combining the two. You just can’t make chili and not have cornbread on the side, they’re incomplete without each other.

Notes

This is one of those recipes that's perfect to make in bulk, it freezes/reheats well and tastes even better over the next few days. I love to prep ahead a big batch of this for a quick meal over rice or with corn chips.

Yay, welcome to the vegan lifestyle! That’s so exciting to hear! I think you will really enjoy this, especially with the Beyond Meat “beef” crumbles (if you can find them) – they really complete this recipe. It’s so close to what I use to eat before. Hope you enjoy if you get a chance to make it <3

Thanks so much! I totally agree, Beyond Meat is easily my favorite option for the “beef” crumbles. Most friends and family have no issue eating them, so I’m happy to include them into recipes if it’ll help change someones mind on veganisim. So many awesome options available today!

Hey, oh no! I remember seeing that last time I bought it on accident. The gluten-free version has no dairy in it, but the regular corn bread mix contains dairy :/ I linked to the exact one I used for this. Hope that helps!
